Abstract
Nowadays, a single person may produce large quantities of pictures, text and other digital content in a variety of devices, adding to it information collected from the Web. Usually, those information items are organized later to be presented/shared in more than one output device. Solutions for organizing information into personalized documents with a suitable design have been proposed for text and images, either in a fully automatic or interactive fashion. To analyze the use of two distinct approaches, we implemented an application using two layout design algorithms and performed user studies to collect user impressions. We present here the two algorithms as well as the results and the analysis of data collected in the user studies showing their preferences.
